Two useful tools for checking this are:
- "which program" which will check whether 'program' is on your current
Linux search path
- "locate name" which will list all absolute pathnames that contain
'name'. 'name' will also be found if its a partial name.
Note that locate is fast because it looks up a database that's updated
once a day. Run 'updatedb' manually if you suspect the database is out
of date due to some package install or upgrade.
Hint: if locate finds large numbers of hits, try "locate name | less"
to see the hits page by page. Less also has good abilities to search
within the text it displays. Learning how to use its search function
is time well spent.
